In order to determine whether a product is an imitation, the authentic one
should be referenced. The box of the Night Cream has violet blue, gold and
burgundy red colors. The burgundy red makes up 60%, and the violet blue makes up
20%. The gold foil strip separates the blue and red sections and occupies the
other 20% of the box. The first important thing to look for is the Valanna®
just above the "Hydrating &Whitening Cream (Night Cream)" in the
burgundy red section (See Figure 1.A). The second important thing to look for is a
flowery
background in t
he violet blue section (See Figure 1.B). The third
important thing to look for is a two line date at the bottom of
the box. The first line is the manufacturing date and the second line is the
expiration date (See Figure 2). The last thing to notice is the ridges on
the gold foil strip that can be felt by your fingers. The entire box is shiny
in color.
When the box is opened, the inside of the box has the same flowery background in
violet blue. There is an additional folded box that is gold color, and it has a violet blue flowery background on the
inside. (See figure 3).The gold box has a big 88 in a circle stamped on it. There is also small 88
and Valanna printed all over:
The jar has a hot pink cap and a rainbow
stamped on top. There is a gold ring around the jar below the cap, and a white
plastic on the inside when the cap is opened (
See
Figure 4).
At the
bottom of the jar is a black, red and gold sticker. There is a red circle in the
middle that has a gold 88 symbol, and Valanna printed in the black section
towards the outside of the sticker (See Figure 5A). The last important
distinction of an authentic product is an engraved 88®Valanna® symbol
just above the sticker at the base of the jar, and it can be felt
by your fingers when touched (See Figure 5B).
